about

Ania Losinger – xala

XALA is the first and only floor-xylophone in the world. This unique instrument was created in 1998/99 by dancer and music performer Ania Losinger in cooperation with inventor and instrument designer Hamper von Niederhäusern. It is composed of 24 chiming wooden and metal bars, with a total area of 4.5 square meters and a weight of 400 kilograms. The idea of the dancing musician Ania Losinger was an acoustic instrument with vibrating wood tones, which could carry the weight of a human body and chime simultaneously. She plays repetitive, rhythmically complex tone sculptures with flamenco shoes and wooden poles the size of herself. The CD, recorded without overdubs, does not lead one to believe that only a single person is at work here. It contains a video clip (compatible with MAC and PC) showing the artist performing.
